It may only be October, but it's never too early to get on the bauble and make some cute little decorations for the Christmas season! Do you have yarn scraps that you're not sure what to be doing with? This make might just be for you...

This sweet little vintage-style jar is perfect for just about anything... decoration on a shelf, a vase for a flower, cute storage for small items or even as a sweetie jar (as the lid still screws on!)
Anyone who knows me will know that I love recycling anything I can find and making it into something new. But you don't need to know me to understand what it feels like to have that 'where's the wrapping paper?!' moment when you're just about to head out for celebrations. We've all been there.
I once received a gift wrapped in pages from a National Geographic magazine, and I just thought it was amazing! Not only was it recycling (woohoo!), but I got to look at some amazing photos in the unwrapping process. It was, by far, the most exciting way I've ever received a present. Then I came across this wee idea, and thought it was so useful that I had to share it. Rather than rushing out to buy some paper, why not make your own gift bag out of things you likely already have at home? Consider it pre-loved - you loved reading the newspaper, playing the music or looking through the magazine, now you're passing it on for someone else to love too. I also love the fact that every bag you make will be different - you'll never find another the same! This really is such an easy make. All you need is a little bit of time (the half an hour before you go out is even more than enough!), some form of paper, a ruler and some glue. Simple. |
